Description

You see what’s broken long before others do. Inefficiencies, outdated rules, missed opportunities, they stand out to you every day. You know better solutions exist. So why keep waiting for permission to act?

In Ahead of Their Time: Pioneers Who Seized Tomorrow, Today, Lynn Miller, leadership expert, master interviewer, and trusted advisor to global organizations, reveals how ordinary professionals turn frustration into momentum and ideas into impact.

Drawing on more than 25 years of working with multi-billion-dollar companies across financial services, healthcare, technology, and professional services, Lynn distills insights from conversations with over 200 innovators, entrepreneurs, and futurists who refused to accept “that’s just how it works.”

This book spotlights thirteen people who didn’t have elite credentials, insider access, or perfect timing, only the courage to act. A professor who reshaped state laws and sparked a $100 million industry. A marketer who tripled revenue by giving his expertise away. A food entrepreneur who opened in the “wrong” neighborhood and succeeded where others failed.

Each story delivers practical frameworks you can apply immediately.

Learn how to spot opportunity inside everyday irritation. Discover why being awkward can be a competitive edge. Master the “Third Choice” approach to decisions that seem impossible.

If broken systems frustrate you, this book is your signal. Your greatest problems at work may be your greatest opportunities, and the future won’t wait.

The change you’ve been looking for doesn’t start with permission.

It starts with you. Grab your copy now and begin.

You see what’s broken long before others do. Inefficiencies, outdated rules, missed opportunities, they stand out to you every day. You know better solutions exist. So why keep waiting for permission...

Tired of business books that treat innovation like some mystical gift bestowed upon the chosen few? Me too. That’s why I found “Ahead of Their Time” to be so much more practical and powerful.

These inspiring stories show a bigger picture of what you can achieve when you break from conventional wisdom. While everyone else around you is telling you to guard your expertise, create scarcity and make people pay for access to you, Lynn Miller’s conversations with esteemed leaders motivate you to forge on in the opposite direction. Why? Not one of them had a special advantage or inside track prior to their success. They just saw an existing situation desperately in need of improvement and were relentless in their mission to find a far smarter solution.

Not only do you get proof of what’s possible, but you also learn how to actually make it happen. So get off your you-know-what, stop wishing for better days and let this book be your field guide to busting the status quo for good!
